I followed the pattern exactly but added an extra cable twist so that it would be longer--4 twists rather than 3--as she suggested for adults. I knit on the loose side, so I stuck with the size 5 needles, and I think it fits my head perfectly.

Yay! now I have a winter hat.

I'm so bad about keeping my yarn information, and I know I have owned this particular yarn for over a year. That being said, I think that it is Mary Maxim Woodland yarn--or very similar too it at least.
